Its an automated email sent by that service using his address book. This happens waay too often! :/

But not without his knowledge. He has to give login and password for gmail/yahoo...

I had once set up gaim for someone to use for google and yahoo. Is that a risk, because gaim is third party?

Gaim is just a client for several IM services and the risk involved is the same as the risk in using the official clients. Services like `jaxtr` require you to provide *your* password to *them* so that they can get to your address book. There is no guarantee what other use they might have for your credentials.
